CS4- Problem with mouse /element selection

My son is working in CS4 an is experiencing this issue - If he clicks once over a vector element in an illustration, then moves the curser to another area, the curser then places the element that was clicked on move to that spot on the artboard. Not real familiar with this attribute. Have reinstalled the application and gone through Preferences but can't find anything. Any ideas?

The cursor of which tool? Regarding your description, you mean nothing happens while moving the cursor but when stop moving it the previously clicked object appears there? Never heard of this before, but the closest behavior to this is dragging which is  clicking and holding the mouse button while moving the cursor. This however will show the outline of the object while being dragged. If the mouse button is not pressed but the object is dragged one possible reason is malfunctioning mouse button due to wear, tear, or dirt that causes the button to get stuck in a pressed state.

    I recently upgraded our iMac to Yosemite OS and now have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11:  the move tool selects an image or text layer, but then I try to drag the selection somewhere else on the page and it snaps back to the original location, however the arrows will move it OK.  Also I cannot drag the selection to another photo in the photo bin as before.

  • Problem with installing Elements - from noob

    I have problems with installing Elements, it gives my an unknown mistake - I already have CS4 up and running, could this be the case?

    Chances are not very good that pse 4 will run on os x 10 6.8 unless you were upgrading from an earlier mac version that already had pse 4 installed.

  • Problem with Photoshop Elements Printing

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for a couple of years now and know it pretty well.  Today while attempting to print, a strange problem came up:  After going through the protocol to make a print, just before the image prints PE does a very fast auto correction that basically ruins all the color correction I have made on the image.  How do I disable this function?

    Hi and thanks for your reply. I checked the settings under "Print", "More Options", then "Color Management" and it only has "Print Space", none of the three options that you said I should have.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

      Check your color management by clicking More Options in the print dialog There are basically three options:1) Printer Manages Color2) Elements Manages color3) No color Management Make sure everything is consistent e.g. if you choose Elements manages color make sure color management is switched off in the print driver.

  • F-32 : Problem with Open Item selection

    Hi,
    We have a strange problem with open Item selection for customer clearing in t-code F-32
    In My QA system
    if I input spl GL indicator ="*" and uncheck Normal OI tick,
    the system selects all open items,
    (those with spl GL indicator and those without spl GL indicator)
    In My Dev system
    If I input spl GL indicator ="*" and uncheck Normal OI tick
    the system does not select any open items,
    Please let me know which setting controls this behaviour ?
    Regards
    Sachin

    Hello,
    Check your data in FBL5N for the option "Special GL Transactions". There could be that there is no data in the system with SPECIAL GL TRANSACTIONS.
    In F-32, there is no value like *
    You need to input right Special GL Indicator. "*" will not work here.
    I am sure in both the systems if you put "*" and UNTICK your normal transaction, you will NOT get any items to clear.
    Please DOUBLE CHECK whether you have unticked normal transaction.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • JDeveloper Extension Problem with Navigator Elements

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the elements of the JDev Navigator.
    At IDE startup I want to set an overlay for the elements on the active project.
    This function is implemented in the Subversion Extension too.
    How can I access the elements of an active project in the navigator?
    It is not a problem to set an overlay with the ContextMenuListener.
    Thank you for your help.
    Greetings,
    Benjamin Oelenberg

    Please take a look at the Extension SDK sample projects. There is a sample that does exactly this.
    Install the Extension SDK from the Help --> Check for Updates dialog and after restart, say yes to installing the sample projects.

    If it works in the new account it should hopefully work in your other account, so just log out of that one and go back to the old one and see if it does.

    Have you tried using a panelHorizontal instead of a panelGroup?
    The components are automatically laid out horizontally and it has a Valign property that you can set to top.

  • HT1338 Problem with MAIL, when select names that start with "E" the mail freeze. Can't fix it.

    Problem with MAIL, when select names that start with "E" the mail freeze. Can't fix it.

    Now I checked the materials that I got from AT&T Yahoo and
    port 25 is used as the outgoing mail port, 110 for incoming.
    This is for the POP type account provided by AT&T, not necessarily for an email account and SMTP server not provided by AT&T.
    Sounds like AT&T blocks using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by AT&T on Port 25.
    Try the following first.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
    Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
    If this doesn't work, we will go to plan B.

  • Editing Premiere cs4 project with premiere elements 9?

    Can I open a premiere cs4 project with premiere elements 9 to edit it.
    Thanks in advance

    You are most welcome, though it's probably not the answer that you wanted.
    There are just so very many differences between the two programs. As a test recently, I took a PREL from PrE 8, IIRC, and it would not even open in my PrPro 2.0, like my simple PrE 4 Projects would. That PrE 8 test Project was also simple, with no Themes, or Instant Movies - just Cuts and some common Transitions, no Effects. Just too different to Open.
    Good luck,
